As a denim obsessive, this is the only dress I'll be wearing this spring

When it comes to easy-to-wear spring dresses, denim styles are high on my list. Chic, versatile, and easy to throw on and go, they're a staple that continues to be reimagined year after year—and though I may be biased as someone who wears denim daily, I can confirm that this season's offerings are better than ever.

Key proponents of the denim dress for Spring/Summer 2025 include Schiaparelli, Diesel, and Marques'Almeida, all of whom debuted numerous lust-worthy pieces as part of their collections. From frayed hemlines and crinkled details, to gold accents in the form of zippers and buttons, these brands served a masterclass in incorporating denim into your warm-weather wardrobe—and touched on some of the season's biggest denim trends, too.

Colour-wise, this season is all about raw denim, in which the textile is left untreated and in its most natural form, without any added chemicals or water. The resulting hue is typically dark, exuding a certain elegant edge—making it the perfect choice for a denim dress that ticks off two trends in one.

Those who favour a more traditional type of denim, meanwhile, are also spoilt for choice with dresses that come in light and medium washes, as seen at Diesel. These are particularly versatile, and can be paired with any colour if you wish to mix and match your accessories.

And to make your look even bolder? Make like the cool girls and pair a denim dress with a denim jacket—either in a contrasting or matching wash—for an of-the-moment, elevated denim-on-denim look.

There really are no rules when it comes to styling a denim dress this season—it's all about letting your personality shine. Cowboy boots are, as ever, a firm favourite for those channeling a Bella Hadid-inspired Western look, but you can also dress up your denim by pairing it with chic ballet flats or ladylike kitten heels. Alternatively, court heels will give an '80s twist, while cherry-red accessories provide a fun colour-pop contrast.

In short: there's a denim dress to suit every style—and this is the perfect time to embrace the trend. To help you on your way, I've selected the best denim dresses to add to your wardrobe now, from designer investment pieces to high-street heroes.
